This whole thing is :censored:ing pointless ATM. I waited to change my password til the store came up, I try to log into my psn account and it says "Your password is no longer valid".

Then I get this :http://store.playstation.com/accounts/manage/beginPasswordResetFlow.action?target=login

"Site Maintenance Notice

The server is currently down for maintenance."

Sony says "There is nothing we can do about this at this time, please just wait."

I was talking to one guy and he said he's been having the same problem for over week. I think it's ridiculous on sony's part, letting this slip under the radar. Hell, maybe it was on purpose to lower bandwidth on the server since everyone wants to download those free games.

I waited to restore my PSN because I wanted the store. Not the online experience. And If this continues I'm going to miss the deadline to get the free games.

what a waste.

The store does look like it's VERY overloaded due to everybody redeeming the package. It's super glitched out. I was in Home to redeem the free stuff there, and all the items listed "Error". I was able to redeem the two PS3 games, but the PSP game section was very glitchy - to the point I just left it alone. As far as the PS+, if you're already a subscriber, it just adds 60 automatically. If you're not a subscriber, you have until the end of this weekend to redeem the free 30 days.

@modded matt : This was received via email earlier this afternoon, and I added the finer print from the link at the bottom from their site, mostly to let people know there is a cutoff date of 6/5 for some content, and that downloads are good for 5 activated consoles.

@sammy : It did that same thing to my girlfriend on the PSP games. I'm hoping it'll be fixed soon, given as how glitchy it was.

@FookZ : No redeem codes - all free storebased.

@Neovalor : Don't worry, you have 30 days to get the games.

@Mogler : I would think you could get access to the games - the only thing you might not be able to get is the year's worth of ID theft protection they're offering.
